Its that time of year to keep a lookout for young babies of nature. I have been hoping to see a young fawn and this morning I saw one. I was driving down a country road and I spied an adult deer and a fawn wth it.
then as most young are often curious, the fawn stopped midway across the highway and looked at my car. Perhaps
I didn't have any pictures to post this morning until movement outside my window caught my eye! It was a hungry Raccoon trying yo get food from one of our hummingbird feeders. Aha! so that is who has been emptying it every night when I do not bring it in. When it saw that I had seen it, it dropped quickly to the ground and quickly squeezed its way out through our garden gate and then hustled itself across the highway. Bye, bye fellow.. get lost! be gone! we don't want you here, but as I was downloading my pictures I could see from a upstairs window that it has returned again to our yard!
It is always a lovely surprise to discover bluebirds around our yard. we don't see them often but this week a couple of bluebirds were showing much interest in our unoccupied Tree Swallow house. they would perch on the top of the house and sometimes go into the house itself. although we have not see these two bluebirds for the last couple of days. However we think Bluebirds nest nearby \as last fall we saw Bluebirds around our choke cherry trees when the berries were very ripe.
It is my delight these recent sunny days is to find Painted Turtles sunning themselves , often on islands.of Earth or mounds of grass. their shiny domes really standout with the sun reflecting from them
